I am torn or weather I should buy the stillen side sills. I just checked on stillen.com and they are on sale. I'm concerned that since us 05 guys don't have a rear valence out there that will fit that my car will look a little confused. Side sills+front lip- rear valence= Hopefully Chico will chime in on this one since he's the only 05 owner that's actually had the sills.

Stillen sills in silver....


Side view of my G

 

But, he took them off, didn't he?

 

it'll look good, compliments the front lip well and the splash gaurds will help carry it to the rear. I say do it
-GP-

 

i ordered the stillen rear and front lip...and skipped out on the side because although it does look nice i dont think its THAT much of a difference..its only a bend or two..if it was cheaper then im all for it...because i got my lips on sale also but ehh...i still need to install mine though hehe havnt gotten em painted yet

 

I would do them or the Nismo sides. Both do help.

 

I think I'm going to go with the stillen the shipping is the cheapest and they do look different from the nismo.

 

You should do it, I think they will look good with the front lip.

 

I talked it over with my girlfriend she is going to pay for the painting as my Valentines day gift. I'll put my factory side sills up for sale once the stillen are put on to recoupe some of my money. If anyone has a 2003-04 silver I would appreciate it if you can post your paint code I want to make sure my paint color will match up with theirs so I'm not selling them something that is a different shade of silver.

 

I liked the Stillens on my car. But they were pretty agressive and took away some of the focal point from my wheels. They made my wheels look smaller. The car also looked too busy with the splash guards in the rear, but if you take them off, the look would not be complete IMO. Also, matching the paint was a real B!TCH. The bodyshop painted it three times and got it pretty close but not perfect.

In the end I decided to go in a different direction that is cleaner and suits the nice curves the car has. Here are a few pics for you.

Car looks great...is that the oracle building on hurontario and matheson?....chicho are you from around this area *-)

 

Yeah Chico I see your point on the wheels and the sills but I'm getting a more aggressive wheel package. The sills don't flow well with the splash guards at all from a distance. I think the stillen looks better on an 05 than the Nismo and Competition sills. I'll do some research (search the treads) on the rear valence to see what changes need to be done to the rear to fit the 05 from what I remember the valence is shorter than the 05 bumper. I found pixs of and 04 with the stillen valence in silver. Considering the rear is only 239.00 I'll buy it and practice using bondo on it.

 

hey!!!

I have skirts on my 05 as well!!

 

^^^where are they? can't see them at all bro. get some good daylight pics.

 

yes it is.

 

DO IT...DO IT... DO IT.... I think they look good.
